## Story

Trying something unique is always fun, and it’s even more fun when those out-of-the-box items are delicious, too. These five food franchises offer singular menu items that will make you want to find the nearest location to try it out.

Did someone say fondue fountain? The Melting Pot offers a novel menu full of items that can be dunked in cheese, broth, chocolate – you name it. The brand has been around for more than 45 years, giving guests the chance to enjoy a variety of fondue cooking styles and exceptional entrees. In addition to the main courses, the menu features salads, a charcuterie board, fine wines and spirits.

Cheba Hut’s “toasted” subs have been satisfying customers’ munchies for over 20 years. There are more than 30 signature sub sandwiches on the menu, as well as a variety of Rice Krispies treats, salads, snacks, and even craft beer options featuring local breweries near its stores.

Known for its speedy pizza, Little Caesars released the Batman-shaped calzone to celebrate the release of the new Batman film coming out in March 2022. The Batman Calzony – a combination of a pizza and a calzone – comes at an affordable price and is shaped like the famous Bat Signal.

Healthy eating isn’t just a fad – it’s here to stay, and MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes is giving its customers a healthy alternative with its lifestyle burgers. There are eight sandwiches to choose from, including The Paleo, made with a lettuce “bun,” and The Gluten-Free, made of a never-frozen certified Angus beef patty and a gluten-free bun.
